The Citizen asked readers the following question in a recent online poll:
What incentive do you think would work best to increase voter turnout in local elections?
Here are the results.
A $20 fine like they do in Australia got 25 per cent of the vote for a total of 487.
A raffle prize; one voter wins a large cash prize (L.A. is considering it) got 13 per cent of the vote for a total of 255.
A $20 gift card for all voters got 16 per cent of the vote for a total of 303.
A $20 reduction on city utilities got a resounding 46 per cent of the vote for a total of 897.
Total votes were 1,942.
Remember this is not a scientific poll.
